They married between 1861-63. I'm wondering if Anne might have been his sister coming to Canada at the same time. C. Sugrue arrived in 1868 as well - may have met on the ship.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564092778878585005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014517712539920451.post-75898957761065419992018-10-27T15:18:39.862-04:002018-10-27T15:18:39.862-04:00Anthony Tunney is my great-great grandfather.

Also, my dad remembered playing in the pasture and telling me about the creek. He saw the building at the far end being built. Nearly everyone knew everyone in Mechanicsville. Incase anyone reads this, I'm from the Dionne family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014517712539920451.post-82610095224276955452018-01-02T20:57:28.111-05:002018-01-02T20:57:28.111-05:00I think Tunney was my great-great grandfather!

My source is Duncan McDowall's "Sum of the Satisfactions", a history of the System of National Accounts (and much of Statscan in parallel). According to the book, the Main Building also has a bit of a ghost story. I hope you can dig into this.carsjamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590380385637079965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3014517712539920451.post-48864501678706170652015-02-16T21:12:28.541-05:002015-02-16T21:12:28.541-05:00Someone, who I HAD trusted, had told me that the S...Someone, who I HAD trusted, had told me that the StatsCan building was originally a hospital built just after WWII. From the shape, size and various features (particularly the basement) it was easy to believe that. Now I find out that it was StatsCan from the beginning. Kind of disappointing, because it doesn't have a more interesting history, and I clearly can't trust the acquaintance who told me that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
